Bottom line

Russian 656th Motor Rifle Regiment drone operators destroyed a Ukrainian NRTK command post and personnel on the Zaporizhzhia front.

Why it matters

The targeting of NRTK command posts highlights the importance of protecting drone C2 infrastructure, as its loss can cripple local drone operations.

Drone operators from the 656th Motor Rifle Regiment of the Russian Army destroyed an enemy NRTK (command post) and associated personnel on the Zaporizhzhia front. This indicates a targeted effort to eliminate Ukrainian drone command and control nodes using aerial assets.
